   Good morning, Mastodon!

   It's my turn for a #CrossBorderRail and #noflying adventure. I'm going from Parma to Brussels to speak at a project management conference.

   My route is Parma - Milan - Brig - Basel - Strasbourg - Brussels. 5 trains, 4 countries, plenty of possibilities that the trip takes an unexpected turn :)

   First one is on time at 6:10. Let's do this!

     At the conference I will argue that travelling by train in #Europe is "a project"

     - Strong dependencies. Miss one train and the whole trip is in jeopardy
     - Budget issues. Mind the route, the type of service.
     - Plan for contingencies. Leave enough time between trips to allow for potential delays.
     - Deal with different providers. I am buying tickets from 3 providers who don't talk with each other.
     - All of this, crossing borders in a multicultural environment :)
